When his dearest friend is cut down in a duel by the arrogant Marquis de La Tour d'Azyr, the young Breton lawyer Andre-Louis Moreau turns revolutionary agitator, hides from the law among a troupe of strolling players as the clown Scaramouche, masters the blade as a fencing academy's finest, and carries his long vengeance into the storm of Revolutionary Paris.

The Breton village that is Andre-Louis's home, where the killing of his friend Philippe first turns him against the privileged order and forces him to run.
- 2Rennes
The Breton capital, where his fiery oratory rouses the mob and makes him a hunted man.

Where, a fugitive, he joins the Binet company of players and reinvents himself behind the mask of Scaramouche.
